Using the Behringer SWING is a breeze. First, connect it to your DAW through USB or MIDI. The 32 compact keys let you play with different velocities and after - touch, so play around to find the feel you like. The 64 - step sequencer is great for creating sequences. You can enter notes with rest, tie and legato options. For more complex patterns, use the Chord Play and Arpeggiator modes. The touch strips are very responsive, so you can add some extreme effects to your performance.
When using the performance control buttons, they make it easy to start, stop and record sequences. The ratchet and random gate functions can add a lot of creativity to your songwriting. If you want endless sustain, you can use the hold button or connect an optional footswitch.
The shift function is useful for adjusting MIDI channel, gate time and swing values. The CV/Gate and Sync connectors allow you to connect other equipment like synthesizers and drum machines.
For maintenance, keep it clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you're not using the optional DC power supply, make sure to disconnect it from the USB when not in use to save power. Also, be gentle with the keys and touch strips to ensure their long - term performance.
